Garlikov v. Continental Casualty Co.

1993 Ohio 127, 68 Ohio St. 3d 91

Opinions

Per Curiam.

In our recent opinion in Savoie v. Grange Mut. Ins. Co. (1993), 67 Ohio St.3d 500, 620 N.E.2d 809, we held:

“Each person who is covered by an uninsured/underinsured policy and who is presumed to be damaged pursuant to R.C. 2125.01 has a separate claim subject to a separate per person policy limit.” Savoie, supra, paragraph four of syllabus.

This holding directly answers the question posed by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

A.W. Sweeney, Douglas, Resnick, F.E. Sweeney and Pfeifer, JJ., concur. Moyer, C.J., concurs separately. Wright, J., dissents.
